Was it a GP30 displayed at the 1964 NY Worlds Fair? If I recall correctly, it was eventually sold to the NYC, but not preserved for any purpose.

The 1964-1965 Worlds Fair display locomotive was former EMD GP35 demonstrator 5661, which was numbered 1964 (and later 1965) for display use. It was fitted with visible glass panels, including in the side of the cab. After the fair it was restored to operable configuration and sold to the New York Central as their road number 6155, the highest numbered GP35 in their fleet. It became 2399 under Penn Central and retained the number into Conrail PC |
